The following array formula will average the lowest 5 numbers in
A1:A10.

=AVERAGE(SMALL(A1:A10,ROW(INDIRECT("1:5"))))

Change the 1:5 to 1:N where N is the number of values you want to
average. Since this is an array formula, you must press
Ctrl+Shift+Enter rather than just Enter when you first enter the
formula and whenever you edit it later. If you do this properly,
Excel will display the formula enclosed in curly braces {}.
